    Aehr Test Systems pivots 95% of revenue to AI processors and silicon photonics

    Question

    Aehr Test Systems pivots 95% of revenue to AI processors and silicon photonics

    Direct answer

    Aehr Test Systems reported a structural repositioning of its testing equipment portfolio, transitioning from silicon carbide EV power electronics to optical and AI silicon burn-in systems. AI processors and photonics now generate nearly 95% of fiscal 2026 sales. The shift is reinforced by a recent $22 million follow-on customer commitment. The transition reduces AEHR vulnerability to automotive cycle downturns while tying backlogs to high-density semiconductor test demand.
